    Ghost or flat black. The others are too flashy for your car IMHO.

      I want an s50b32, but I will probably end up settling with a standard s50 if I don't just build an m20.

          As soon as i read 7k i knew it was either a euro s50 or a s54.

          I also said german colors. Goodluck on saving for the motor.

            Do it. You earn it when your sig photo has road cones in it.
            Maybe get it now, and wait until you have other outward bling that 'out blings' the flag, as I see Matt's point too.
            If I had a white varient E30, I'd rock the tri-color if for no other reason than as a tribute to the real DTM white cars.
            Since I have Diamantschwarz and a ton of CF, I'm thinking ghost rear only.

            Like I said though, rock it. You earn it - so do it. The overly uptight M purists need to be more accepting, and if they can't - well, that's their loss. Being a S14 Nazi really only flies on S14.net - mostly for good reason.

            Non - M titled cars can be just as cool and desirable to me as a strictly by the numbers E30 M3 - but I'm fairly openminded.

            I covet Vlad's, Mariano's, Cramer's, and Trent's cars, pretty much in that order - only 2 S14's on that list. I think a clean, well sorted non-M can be well deserving of praise - you don't need a badge or a titled M to have a clean ride. Fuzz's car is one car that proves that entirely. Matt's old car too. TJ's old car too - I could go on and on as each car comes to mind.

            People that look down their nose at anything need to really get a grip in life. The only person you have to please is yourself. My 2 pennies.

            It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

              *Mischevious grin* haha. I say go for the tri colored, or the german flag. Alpin weiss can pull it off.

                    You know why the bmw ///M tricolor flag fits? Because it's a BMW. It's not like you want to put it on a Mazda... The so called ///M colors weren't exclusive to the ///M cars anyways, lots of BMW race cars flaunted them, including the 635CSi Group A race car!

                            Don't let others let you decide how to spend your money. Alpine white can pull off pretty much anything, you probably won't be disappointed.

                              Good point, but the ltw flags were exclusive to racecars and certian bimmers.
                              I have a lot of ///M parts on my car (full e30 ///M3 interior including gauge cluster, front and rear seats, M-Tech I steering wheel, etc),
                              It's like putting a type R sticker on a honda dx with type r rims..... I'm just saying. An M interior doesn't deem the car worthy of an ltw flag. I would say if you are going to do it I would shy away from the tri color. But it is your car and I won't hate on you. Shit I have e46 parts on my car and it isn't an e46...
